When the whole creation is struggling!


When challenges are turning to a crisis and things are going berserk, what is one supposed to infer from all of this? Is there a way of escape? If yes, how long one has to wait? These questions are all too familiar, especially in the spiritual, logical and philosophical realm that inundates our mind. Most often in a crisis we are sustained by “Hope” to a larger extent, but then the actual problem and the struggle is to handle time, especially when and how long before we all come back to normalcy?

In the Bible it tells that the even creation is struggling to find solutions to many challenges it is facing. “For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains until now.” (Bible). Hold on! Why is all of creation, the nature and entire universe struggling? Have you thought about it? Because of man’s disobedience and sin, there is an increase in rebellion and debauchery which has a capacity to condemn all of us to punishment and death. Even the nature, the entire creation was seriously affected by human beings. The whole creation groans with labor pain because it is struggling as to how it is supposed to behave. It is we who have tampered with the freedom of choice but the poor creation is bearing the brunt.

God gave us the right to choose despite knowing that we would probably make the wrong choice. The fact that God didn’t create a species of robots that had to obey Him blindly underscores the awesome privilege and responsibility we have for making choices.

All religion has a philosophy to offer salvation. Basically, demanding to work out our own redemption of soul through visiting to so called holy places, temples, mosques, Churches and many other shrines that have recently gained prominence. Now what? When all the so-called holy places and famous shrines are shut down and the mediators (priest) or whoever you name, the godmen of any religion have gone to hibernation mode in order to protect themselves from this deadly virus, how does then one reach God and find help? It's a point to ponder!

In the Bible it says we cannot work out our own salvation, nor does our good works will lead towards the same. Therefore, God in the form of man had to come to this earth and die for our sins in the cross and resurrected which is historically recorded and proved by all science. Going to Church or any holy place is not going to deliver our soul and give redemption. It is when we believe and accept the salvation offered to us will make all the difference. 

The Bible is all about prophecies, which have been fulfilled and more importantly all that is supposed to take place as part of the end days and it also records that Jesus is going to come back again for all those who are redeemed by faith. The concept of Heaven and Hell, which is very conspicuous in the book tells us that we will spend our eternity with God. In all over the world People are directing their attention towards God and trying to find what is important for their soul.
